Health care provider Planned Parenthood will retrain employees who deal with patients in how to report potential risks to minors, following the release of secretly recorded videotapes by an anti-abortion group that alleges they show clinic staff counseling a man posing as a pimp for underage prostitutes.Well, if this training is a "refresher", it's pretty clear they did a poor job training these people the first time. And the news of their new training comes on the same day the third video is released (from Hot Air):
Planned Parenthood, which has more than 800 health clinics and 11,000 employees nationwide, announced the retraining effort Monday. It also said it was changing its disciplinary policy to termination in all proved cases in which there has been a failure to report. The policy previously included punishments such as leave without pay and retraining.
Planned Parenthood Federation of America Inc., which has national offices in New York and Washington, D.C., says it delivers vital reproductive health care and sex education to millions of people. It said Monday the goal of retraining was to show a "firm commitment" to reporting any potential harm to minors.
Federation spokesman Stuart Schear emphasized that the training was not new but was meant as a refresher. He said training will follow state laws where affiliates have clinics.
Live Action Films releases another in its series of undercover videos at Planned Parenthood clinics, this one in New York City. The reporters, posing as a pimp and prostitute, inform the Planned Parenthood case worker that they conduct a “sex work” clinic with girls as young as 14 and 15, and ask how they can avoid detection when they bring the girls to the clinic for testing and abortions. The clinic crafts a strategy for the pimp that has to be seen to be believed ...See the Hot Air post for the video and transcript.
Live Action Films has clearly learned well from the ACORN experience and how Breitbart and James O'Keefe released the videos one at a time and with plenty of time in-between for the victim to make idiots of themselves. The ultimate goal of this effort, if not the completely shutdown of PP, is to at least convince Congress that continued funding for this butcher shop is politically dangerous to the careers of politicians.
It's starting to work.

Some people just never learn from the misfortunes and screw-ups of others; no, they have to shoot themownselves in the foot...or higher.
The sad fact lies in the fact that many of those workers feel that they are in fact doing a greater good and helping the quality of life of these people. They know that if they report underage sexual activity, those people won't come to them for anything: contraception, STD testing, OR abortions. Pity they don't see the larger picture of CHILDREN being used as sex slaves!
